Fucking bulls! This team really annoys me. They face the Grizz, OKC, and Houston soon. Deng and noah are both OUT for at least a "few" games. Of course they couldnt miss teh Blazers game. And rose kills everyone but the reason we lost that game was noah and deng. If one doesnt play... we win by 8.
I'd rather the Blazers not worry about teams chasing them and instead focus on taking care of their own business.
aw man... im worried about houston. we gotta keep winning. houston has the kings, twolves, pistons, wiz, nets all upcoming. thats 5 slam dunk run away wins. their schedule is very easy in the last month and a half. this is the team to root against. the hornets have no chance with their schedule and paul being out. grizz died tonight. houston is the team to watch every night. the rockets fucking with our season???? nah that never happens.
The Rockets are a tough team (physically and mentally) and have a good coach. I expect them to fight to the end.
Kevin Martin is sieve on defense though ... I really think the Landry for Martin swap makes them worse in the short term. Now if we're talking next season, Martin on the floor to help space the floor for Yao is a different story, but that team basically has no go-to guy anymore (for this year).
At this point the Blazers need to look up, not down. The goal is not to worry about the Rockets, but to ask when we pass the Spurs and if we can pass OKC as well...
rockets are gonna win 6 in a row easy. we need to beat the bad teams like indi starting on wed. roy seemed worried about the game when mike interviewed him. first game home after long trip is the hardest he said.
